RBR - Dynamic Glove 558 (Ishimoto Vs Kuga II)

There is plenty of footage of Kuga and Ishimoto available! Every time you see an Asian boxer you don't recognise visit http://www.asianboxing.info/videos and see if they have anything. In this case they had 8 Ishimoto fights and 5 Kuga bouts! Plenty of tape on most of these guys. That's ignoring what Taka and Asianboxing have hidden from Boxingraise and Asign (which tends to be available on request)

An absolute **** of footage out there on really obscure fighters and more available by the week.

 

There was no footage of their first meeting but plenty of the two guys in seperate bouts so at least there was a chance to scout them.

 

From about 2 seconds in when Kuga landed that big right you could tell he wasn't even considering the score cards. He was in there to finish this early and go home quickly. Was beautiful to see, like Higa, a guy coming to the ring with the mentality of "I don't trust judges...I don't need them"

 

Looking at it the ref picked up the towel, so seems like Teiken saved their man rather than the ref stopping it (ref was actually a former fighter himself - http://boxrec.com/boxer/41797)

Not sure how the referee would have seen the towel though as it seems like it was well behind him. Kuga's team seemed to be on the apron very quickly...
